Abstract: A low air loss patient support system (20) includes a plurality of identical multi-chambered inflatable sacks (34). A restrictive flow hole (64) connects two adjacent chambers (46, 54) disposed predominately to one side of the centerline of the sack, and each side is separately pressurizable under the control of a microprocessor (160) and a plurality of pressure control valves (162) with pressure transducers and a plurality of flow diverter valves (220) for switching between different modes of configuring the manner in which the sacks are pressurized. The system includes a modular manifold (128) for mounting the pressure control valves (162), and a modular support member for mounting the sacks via quick-disconnect couplings and having air flow channels defined therethrough. The support system can rotate or tilt the patient by depressurizing one side of the sacks (34) while increasing the pressurization of the opposite side of the sacks. An end chamber (46) of the depressurized side of each sack remains inflated while the adjacent intermediate chamber (54) becomes progressively deflated during depressurization to permit the end chambers to restrain the patient from sliding off the sacks during tilting. The support system can relieve pressure points between the patient and the sacks while elevating the head and chest of the patient by reconfiguring the diverter valves (162) to connect alternating sacks at the same pressure and periodically decreasing the pressure in one group of sacks while increasing the pressure in another group of sacks alternately to relieve the pressure of and on the patient between the two different groups of sacks depending upon which group is depressurizing and which group is being increased in pressure.

Abstract: Un système de création de documents met en ÷uvre un système expert basé sur des définitions, et un programme d'édition pour produire un document de sortie à partir d'un document-type et de réponses du système expert. La base des connaissances du système expert est constituée d'une hiérarchie de termes et de leurs définitions. Pour produire une réponse experte, une composante du système expert, à savoir un moteur d'inférence, évalue un terme en évaluant la totalité des définitions des termes qui se trouvent dans la hiérarchie de définitions de ce terme. Dans le système de création de documents, les termes incluent des termes fragmentaires qui sont définis comme des parties du document-type. D'autres termes de la base de connaissances peuvent apparaître à l'intérieur de cette partie. Le système de création de documents comporte une composante définition de termes qui, lorsque l'utilisateur définit un terme fragmentaire, fournit le programme d'édition à l'utilisateur de sorte que ce dernier peut écrire le fragment représenté par le terme fragmentaire. Une fois que l'utilisateur a défini le terme fragmentaire, la composante définition de termes ajoute le terme fragmentaire à la base de connaissances et vérifie que tous les autres termes de cette partie sont définis dans la base de connaissances. Dans la négative, l'utilisateur se voit demander une définition. Pour créer un document, le moteur d'inférence évalue un terme qui est défini selon un ou plusieurs termes fragmentaires. Lorsque l'évaluation indique qu'un terme fragmentaire doit être inclus dans le document, le moteur d'inférence utilise le programme d'édition pour retrouver tous les autres termes du fragment, évalue les autres termes, et ensuite utilise le programme d'édition pour transférer par copie, du document-type au document en cours de création, le texte du terme fragmentaire et pour remplacer par leurs valeurs les autres termes dans le document en cours de création.

Abstract: A self-propelled sweeper vehicle has a suction nozzle (22) trailed from a front-mounted downwardly extending linkage (80), and is constrained at its rear end by the connection to the suction duct (30). A linear actuator physically shifts in a lateral direction the connection of the linkage to the front of the nozzle, in response to control signals. The steering of the nozzle is related to the steering of the brush gear and/or the vehicle's steerable wheels in an automatic manner. Thus the nozzle maintains a proper relationship to the vehicle and its brush gear in an automatic manner. The steering of the brush gear itself is effected by the driver independently of the vehicle steering, whereby driver control is maximised while unswept trails are minimised. <IMAGE>
